Course Compliance

This article goes over how to enable Course Compliance, which allows you to set requirements for completing lecture content (e.g. lectures, videos, and graded quizzes) in a course.

Overview

On the Professional plan and up, you can set various course compliance settings to require that students complete course content, including lectures, videos, and quizzes. To enable Course Compliance, navigate to the Information > Course Compliance section of your course admin:

TIP: As a school owner, you can preview your Course Compliance settings by creating a separate student account and enrolling in the course.

Enforce Lecture Order

When enabled, your students will be required to progress through lectures sequentially—in other words, as they appear in the course curriculum. Students mark their course progress clicking the Complete and continue button in each lecture.

If a student tries to go out of order, then they’ll see this message:

If you add a new lecture to a portion of your course, and a student has already completed that portion, then they’ll be required to complete the new lecture before progressing further.

If a new lecture is added to a course that a student has already completed, then their course completion certificate and/or course completion percentage will not be affected.

Enforce Video Watching

When enabled, your students will be required to watch at least 90% of a video in a lecture before progressing to the next lecture.

NOTE: If Enforce Video Watching is enabled, then Enforce Lecture Order will also be enabled.

For example, if a student watches the first 20 seconds and the last 50 seconds of a 100-second video, then they won’t be able to continue to the next lecture because they’ve only completed 70% of the video:
